The critical potential of Ben Reeves’ work emerges from two things: his profound observations of the world around him combined with deliberate choices he makes to optimize the potentials of paint. In this exhibition, Reeves presents a focused body of work that represents his active and deep investigation into a seemingly simple subject: the ocean. Utilizing a range of invented and inherited notations for waves and water, the infinite dimensions of the ocean (visual, metaphoric, spiritual, cultural) reveal themselves as aspects to contemplate through the act of painting.

Zoë KreyeWell, beloved, it is that which we want to call the secret growing
Moved by a sense of purpose that includes connection, spirit, and care, Zoë Kreye uses embodied rituals in her studio practice to create objects and installations that capture sensations of the body. By utilizing the body as a tool for sensing resonances within visual aesthetics, the works engage a multitude of senses in the act of viewing that bring new awareness to the self and to others.
Expressive in their scale and composition, the works in this exhibition are created on linen, on paper, and large-scale, immersive works are on sheer fabrics. The act of moving through the exhibition causes subtle movements in the works themselves, shifts that might extend our perception beyond the visual and into the psychological.
